The strongest heavenly master

Chapter 39
These blue lights reflected the tower body in an extraordinarily horrifying, weird and confusing way.

Taking a closer look, these blue lights... are exactly the countless fire ladybugs.

How many towers are there to light up such a huge tower?
One hundred thousand?

Even millions?

Hard to guess.

This is exactly the legendary nine-story demon building!

Gao Xing thought about it for a while, and decided to complete the exploration mission first, and then talk about it after receiving the system reward.

So, with a thought, I recited a few mantras silently, holding the mahogany sword in one hand and the five emperors' money in the other, protecting the body with magic power, and preventing all evil from invading...

Of course, saying that all evils cannot invade is only a relative term.

These fire ladybugs are nightmares for ordinary people.But for those who have mana, there is nothing to fear at all.

Magic body protection, they can't get close at all.

After climbing up the steps, Gao Xing looked around and saw that the tower was layered upon layer upon layer, densely packed with bones.

There are also many outside the tower.

Some of these bones were lying, sitting, and hanging... In short, it was a mess, and it didn't look like a tomb at all.

And these bones are not skeletons, they look like dried wax meat, which can be called serious skinny bones.

Even after so many years, there is still a stench.

"Unfortunately, I don't know what these ghost cave texts mean..."

Gao Xing approached the tower, carefully looked at the ghost cave inscription engraved on it, and sighed slightly regretfully.

Walking into the tower, there is a passage and an upward step.

But inside, there is no fire ladybug.

They all gathered on the tower outside, or on the bones outside.

On the first floor, nothing was found, only bones.

Gao Xing continued to walk towards the second floor.

Also full of bones.

Then the third layer, the fourth layer...

When we reached the sixth floor, we finally made some new discoveries.

The bones on the lower floors, judging from some decayed clothes, should be ordinary civilians.

But on the sixth floor, Gao Xing found that there were many fewer bones, and some of the clothes of the corpses were still there, and they turned into dust with just a light touch.

Totally rotten.

However, it can be seen that the fabric is more luxurious, it should be silk.

Then it is not difficult to guess that these people should be rich people, even nobles.

Gao Xing searched carefully for a while, but found nothing of value, except for a few earthen pots with strange symbols engraved on them.

Further up, there are fewer bones.

Gao Xing counted them, and there were only about fifteen of them.Similarly, the clothes of several corpses can be discerned, and they are also relatively luxurious.

On the eighth floor, there are new changes.

There were only six corpses, and these six corpses were all dressed in ancient leather armor. They looked like generals.

Next to the corpse, there are guns and spears covered with green bronze.

"Huh? It seems that the higher you go, the higher your status?"

With doubts in mind, Gao Xing finally stepped onto the ninth floor, which is the last floor.

Sure enough, there was only one corpse on the ninth floor.

Moreover, this corpse is different from others, it is relatively well preserved, not to mention lifelike, but it is not considered skinny, and you can see what it looked like before birth.

This is a man about fifty years old, judging from the attire he is wearing... he is actually a prince or even a king?

How majestic was he before his death?

Now he is lying alone on the top of the tower, without even a coffin, just throwing it on the ground so casually.

Around the corpse, there are also some ghost cave inscriptions, as well as some strange symbols and patterns.

These patterns can be roughly recognized, there are cattle and sheep, birds, and... fire ladybug?

Gao Xing squatted down in surprise, and took a closer look at the pattern on the ground. That's right, it was the fire ladybug.

So, before the construction of this nine-story demon building, the person who drew it knew that there was a fire ladybug, and it was even possible that they kept it here to protect the tower on purpose?

Gao Xing quickly organized his thoughts.

The ninth floor is a king.

The eighth floor is a few generals.

The seventh and sixth floors are some nobles.

Further down, ordinary soldiers and ordinary people?
This is clearly a complete national layout.

According to the main plot line, this nine-story demon building is actually related to the ancient city of Jingjue, and it should be built by Queen Jingjue.

Although there is no way to verify it, judging from these ghost cave texts and the layout of this tower, it is very likely that it is an altar arranged by Queen Jingjue.

The bones here were all killed by her, or they were simply thrown here by living people to trap them to death.

After exploring the entire tower, Gao Xing had roughly a complete idea in his mind.

Although it may not be completely correct, but he can be sure that it must have touched the edge...

Now that the rotation has been completed, there is no need for Gao Xing to stop and start to slowly descend.

After returning to the first floor, the system information popped up in my mind:
[Congratulations, the exploration of the nine-story demon building in Kunlun Mountains has been achieved]
[Reward item: an ancient compass]
"Great!"

Gao Xing murmured to himself in relief, and with a thought, he took out the reward item.

As soon as you hold it in your hand, you will feel a heavy and vicissitudes of life.

The overall color is dark copper.

As for the material, Gao Xing studied it carefully for a while and found that it was neither metal nor wood, it should be made of the bones of a large beast.

It is quite hard, and it feels warm and smooth to the touch, which is very magical.

The most important thing is that the compass spread out in the palm of the hand gives people the illusion of changing, like a liquid.

At the same time, traces of mysterious power emanated out, causing the fire ladybugs around to flee in panic.

As a result, Gao Xing was even more pleasantly surprised.

Now, he can fully conclude that this is definitely not a simple compass, and it also has the function of a magic weapon.

Presumably, its former owner should be a master of Taoism.

Sure enough, the things produced by the system are not ordinary products.

Gao Xing played with the compass fondly for a while before receiving it in his carry-on package, and strode away.

"Comrade Xiao Gao, what did you find?"

Seeing Gao Xing's figure, Professor Chen couldn't wait to come forward and ask.

"Professor Chen, there is indeed a super large tomb ahead!"

"super?"

Professor Chen's voice trembled a little.

"Super? How big is it?"

The fat man ran over quickly, his eyes sparkling.

Then Gao Xing said slowly: "Why do you say super? Because it is as tall as a nine-story building..."

"Huh? Nine floors?"

Everyone exclaimed, and looked up subconsciously.

The cave wall here is only about ten meters... so they feel a little incredible.

After getting enough of it, Gao Xing finally got to the point: "Because it's a legendary nine-story demon building."

"A nine-story demon building?"

"My God, it turned out to be a nine-story demon building?"

"This kind of tomb really exists in the world?"

Upon hearing what Gao Xing said, not only Professor Chen, but also Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and Hao Aiguo all exclaimed.

It's no wonder they were shocked.

Even though Professor Chen has seen many large tombs in his lifetime of archaeology, he has only heard of the legend of the nine-story demon building, and has never seen it with his own eyes.
